Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

[mxgsfmdpx]

Well coming from a new perspective, in all honesty I was a little overly critical of the Revic glass because I’ve just been hunting/scouting mule deer, all glassing from a tripod the last 4 months. I didn’t even need to pull the NL’s of my pack yesterday, or use a tripod to find elk.

Definitely for general hunting, especially elk, these are totally acceptable. I would recommend them paired with some type of spotter though, because it is tough to actually see the tines on a smaller bull beyond maybe 1200 yards or so. You can tell it’s a bull because of the size and color, and see the horns slightly, but to verify brow tines for a legal bull, a spotter or getting closer would be necessary for sure.

Honestly may not even carry NL’s on another rifle elk hunt.

Great info! Thank you!

Revics served me well over the weekend. Spotted and ranged bulls at 2000 yards with them in the am, bulls were identified by color moving through small openings in oak brush. Closest I could get during the day and still see the needed area put me 600-900 yards away for the evening. It was difficult to judge the bulls where they came out at 800-900 yards. Passed on one that was prob legal at 600yards bc I couldn't tell, shot one that was def legal a few minutes later right at sunset. I'm not sure anything short of more magnification would have made a difference in judging the small bulls at that distance.

As a shooting tool I was very pleased and these likely made the difference in being able to get a shot, stand alone rangefinder would have sucked in this scenario. Correctly identifying the animal, immediate ranging, dialing, and making a shot before the bull moved.

I had a similar experience over the weekend hunting deer. Near last light we spotted a buck. He had a big body, but for antlers, all we could see was 1 tall point as he was looking right at us in the timber. I looked hard, got steady, tried another set of Meopta 10x42s and looked through the 10x riflescope and no other points were visible. He did turn his head and I caught a glimpse of his other side and gave the all clear to shoot and my wife took him. This buck ended up being a narrow 3x3. I wish I had the NLs to compare, but at least we didn't lose the opportunity. (Those NLs gave a good view at last light once before in a nearly exact scenario).

Overall the Revics were great throughout the weekend. Ranged WAY further than I ever have, shooting solutions popped up instantly. I'll be taking them rifle hunting for the foreseeable future, but I might pack the NLs on occasion to verify detail or for long glassing sessions, but the Revics will ride in the harness.

I had an awesome experience with them also when I needed a repair done. The guy I talked to was Verlin. Let me see if I can find his number
